Thanks JohnL
Do you think it is possible to cut a 300mg pill in half and take half a day?
Do you take it with or without food?
Will adding phenylalanine cause overstimulation?
Well...enough questions, sorry

> Hi Maniz,
> If you find side effects overly troublesome, you could reduce the dosage to 300mg once every other day instead of daily. Do that just long enough to allow your body to become better adjusted to the new medicine. If however the side effects are really really troublesome, then stopping altogether might be best. I would try reducing dosage first though and give it a good 4 weeks before making any changes. During that time you could increase the dose anytime you feel confident about it.
